Original Content A Collection of Magic Items Inspired by Asian Myths and Legends

Here's a collection of magic items from the Asian Mythology section of my Mythological Items compendium!

There's a little bit of everything here: legendary weapons like Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi and the Gada of Hanuman, Bhima's Gauntlet, the Katana of the Sword Saint, the mysterious Pill of Immortality, and more unusual treasures like the Kappa's Water Dish, Jizo Charm Beads, and the Copper Yantra Plate.

I wanted this section to explore different aspects of Japanese, Chinese, and Indian mythology and folklore, from divine weapons and sacred relics to smaller magical objects with interesting abilities and uses in a campaign. Some are powerful legendary treasures, others are more modest items that adventurers might discover much earlier in their journeys.

These are just a few of the 300+ magic items featured in my Mythological Items for 5E and 5.5E Kickstarter, which is currently live!

The campaign features magic items inspired by myths, legends, and folklore from around the world, including Greek, Norse, Egyptian, Asian, American, and many other traditions.

You can also get my previous D&D manuals as discounted add-ons and bundles through the campaign, including professionally printed, high-quality Hardcover editions.

Marker drawing of an ancient camel-riding Arab warrior from the Bronze to early Iron Age, inspired by depictions in Assyrian reliefs. Noticeably, these portrayals represent the Arabs as shirtless with long hair, lacking the head coverings or flowing robes we associate with Arab and Islamic cultures today.

Marker doodle of a warrior queen from ancient India. She's not based on any specific historical individual, but I just wanted to have some fun with this drawing. Her saber ended up being quite bigger than I had initially envisioned, so I imagine she has to be a quite strong lady!
